End of the day

Its raining outside. The frogs are at it. Its dark. The day is winding to an end.

The kids have come in from school. Their school is from 1.15 to 6.15 PM. After Asha and Enoch finished shedding their uniforms - and had a quick bath - we had tea and Sheba's 'diamond biscuits' on a mat on the floor.

We talked about the day. Then it was home-work time. Got out the diaries and saw what was there. Enoch has words with double letters to do. Reading a story from his English book. Asha had some history to do. We talked about her taking some extra classes for an optional Hindi test in Sept. She was not happy about it, but seems to have calmed down now.

The chappatis are ready. Now for the subji. Asha is helping Sheba cut the potatoes while Enoch reads aloud from the book.

The rain continues lightly outside. The fan whirrs in the kitchen. In our brightly lit flat a day is coming to an end. After supper we will read the Bible together (currently we are travelling through the book of Numbers) and then sleep.
